"Cain says the Democrats are behind these women coming forward, but we LIKE CAIN. We would LOVE for him to be the GOP nominee." -- Carville, CNN yesterday Carville is right. Cain just found out China has nuculer weapons. He makes Bachmann and Palin seem informed. Send e-mail to Bart This is what happens when the super-rich don't pay taxes. Rick Perry Stumbles Again
Pundits say he's out of this race Link w Video Rick Perry's bid for the presidency may have been derailed by a single word Wednesday night: "Oops." In what may go down as one of the most cringe-worthy moments of any modern presidential campaign, the Rootin' Tootin' governor froze in the middle of an answer during the Michigan debate and dealt what could be a fatal blow to his 2012 bid. Perry, who has frequently admitted he's a poor debater, stumbled in the middle of explaining which government agencies he would eliminate as president—a softball question given the answer is part of his daily talking points on the campaign trail. How can he be out when he has $16M to spend? Trust me - the religiously insane WILL be represented next November. Will Perry run against Romney on the Teabagger Ticket? If he doesn't, Bachmann or Ron Paul will. It's too bad Obama isn't doing a more competent job as prsident. If he was, we could sit back and relax and watch the GOP destroy itself. Send e-mail to Bart The New York Times bestselling author of Armed Madhouse offers a globetrotting, Sam Spade-style investigation that blows the lid off the oil industry, the banking industry, and the governmental agencies that aren't regulating either. $16.73 This is the story of the corporate vultures that feed on the weak and ruin our planet in the process-a story that spans the globe and decades. For Vultures' Picnic, investigative journalist Greg Palast has spent his career uncovering the connection between the world of energy (read: oil) and finance. He's built a team that reads like a casting call for a Hollywood thriller-a Swiss multilingual investigator, a punk journalist, and a gonzo cameraman- to shed new light on environmental disasters like the Gulf oil spill, the Exxon Valdez, etc. Palast shows how the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, and Central Banks act as puppets for Big Oil. With Palast at the center of an investigation that takes us from the Arctic to Africa to the Amazon, Vultures' Picnic shows how the big powers in the money and oil game slip the bonds of regulation over and over again, and simply destroy the rules that they themselves can't write-and take advantage of nations and everyday people in the process.

Warning victims not to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct crosses the line. While Cain’s lawyer stated in the same interview that “I’m not here to scare anyone off,” who’s he kidding? Warning victims not to prosecute, or even talk about their experiences, is beyond scary. It’s particularly offensive in cases alleging sexual misconduct. At this point, Sherman needs to admit that running was all a joke and drop out of the race. How many women need to come forward? 10? 20?

Paterno Fired in Shame It's sad, but he had to go - and right now Link Joe Paterno was fired last night by the Penn State Board of Trustees. Along with Paterno, University president Graham Spanier was also fired. Paterno said that he would retire at the end of the year, but that wasn't enough. Paterno later stepped out of his house to a crowd supporting him. He thanked them and told them to "go get a good night's sleep." He also mentioned that they should "pray for" the alleged victims. They didn't need prayer, Mr. Paterno, they needed someone in a position to help them, to actually do something that mattered. Whispering words to a deity won't absolve you of not doing the right thing.n At this point, it's all over for Joe Paterno. His once-proud name has now turned to poison. Suggestion: Paterno should volunteer to do a 30-second PSA and say, "If you EVER see something that looks like child sexual abuse, call 9-1-1. Those kids are helpless and YOU have to act if you see a child in danger." Send e-mail to Bart Subject: pro-life? Hi Bart, Bart, you say adoption is good but you also say abortion is okay. Well, it is not okay. Every aborted baby could be adopted.....okay? Get it? Does that sink in? Carson, the Monkey with Manners I didn't say abortion was "OK." Abortions are the price we pay for reproductive freedom, like car wrecks are the price we pay for driving freedom, like gun deaths are the price we pay for owning guns, like alcoholism is the price we pay for repealing prohibition - the list is endless. Republicans always say they want less government. What could possibly be a bigger government intrusion than Jim Inhofe getting busy in your wife's pants? I don't think Eric Cantor and Tom Coburn should make family planning decisions for any family besides their own. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Penn State Child Rapists Bart, I saw a report that said: "He (then 28 year old, 6'4" 220 lb. former Penn State quarterback Mike McQueary) has said under oath that he saw Sandusky raping what appeared to be a 10-year-old boy. He immediately left, met with his father and determined he would report the incident to Paterno, according to prosecutors." I truly don't understand this. He saw a 50 year old man raping a 10 year old, and he "immediately left?" If it had been me, no way do I leave that kid there to get raped. No way. I am no hero, and not much of a fighter, but no way would I have left. I would have given it my best to kick the living shit out of Sandusky. I like to think I would have killed him. I damn sure would have tried. I can promise you I've started throwing punches for a hell of a lot less, and with much worst odds against me than a 50 year old child rapist with his pants around his ankles. I've got 4 sons, so someone might say that I see things differently than McQueary. But the truth is, I was far more likely to go off on some deserving bastard like Sandusky when I was 28. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Leaving a 10 year old to get raped? brew I agree. One loud, "Hey!" would likely have stopped the attack. BTW, I'm glad that America is outraged at this child rapist - it'a about damn time. Now what about those Catholic bishops who did a lot worse than "fail to report" their child rapes? Why do the Catholics get a pass on child rapes? They've been covering up their organize, worldwide rape club for decades ...or centuries. "Bart? You got nothing better to do than beat up Catholics? Don't you have more important things to worry about? You've been harping about this for a decade. It's time you give this pointless vendetta a rest!" BTW Brew, good to hear from you. Send e-mail to Bart Why bother to listen to the guy who created 24M new jobs and balanced the budget? We had enough of that crap in the nineties, right? Quotes "Nothing was decided today..." -- Basketball commissioner David Stern according to CNN, seeming to say both sides are too greedy with all those hundreds of millions of dollars. They should do away with basketball. It's a super-dumb "sport" for tallish freaks only. It's such a poorly thought-out sport: If you get in behind during the game, you foul the other team like crazy. What kind of sport is that? Yes, it's time to let basketball die. Send e-mail to Bart When Guns Defeat Butter by Gary Kohls consortiumnews.com Years ago I read a newspaper story about an elderly man, a loner, who lived in an impoverished area of Cleveland. Neighbors had noticed his mail piling up on his porch. When they received no responses to phone calls or to knocks on the door, they called the police, who broke into the man’s house. What they found is an allegory for our time The withered old man was dead in his bed, surrounded by rifles, pistols and guns of every description. Boxes of bullets and cartridges were stacked on the floor. He had a knife in his cold, dead hand and an actual harpoon was leaning against his refrigerator, which was empty. In a nation of plenty and with grocery stores in the man’s neighborhood, he had starved to death. He had fiercely upheld his Second Amendment rights but had ignored his health. He had apparently heard the National Rifle Association’s sermons about defending one’s property against trespassers – by lethal means if necessary – but he died, alone and friendless. He had wasted away, in a paranoid state, while “defending” himself against “the other,” who never did come to rob him. He had spent all of his money – his Social Security checks, his pension, everything – on guns and ammunition, but he had spent nothing on food or life-giving activities. Great point - our military is in what 80 countries? Why? What emergency is going to occur that requires our soldiers to be housed in every corner of the Earth simultaneously? Even when fighting teenagers in caves, we spent trillions on our military. If we want to balance the budget, let's TAX THE RICH and cut military spending by 80% Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Personhood and Russ Last Issue Hey Bart, Russ thinks that 'If they want to enforce this view of "personhood" they will need to study all liquid emissions from women...all'. This actually could be a good thing. Think about all those repressed, perverted, sadistic, PERVERTED rethugs that now 'get their jollies' watching videos of (for example Abu Ghraib) torture, as we all know GWB does, constantly. They can now be obsessed by, and rendered irrelevant by the plethora of women to be viewed on the internets, peeing. Womens' emissions--what infantile rethugs yearn for. Don, pillar, Shingle Springs A Democratic senator should introduce a one sentence resolution that says, "The federal government has no business inside a woman's pants," and dare the GOP to vote against it. There are thousands of things our braindead, cowardly Democrats could do to push progressive causes but our "Please don't hurt me" weenies just can't summon the balls to act.

Quotes "How do you fire Joe Paterno? As a Hawkeye fan (Iowa) I find it in poor taste." -- Ashton Kutcher, screwing up in a tweet "As of immediately I will stop tweeting until I find a way to properly manage this feed. I feel awful about this error. Won't happen again." -- Kutcher, blaming "this feed" for his massive fuckup. Note: Kutcher has (had?) more followers than anybody - over a million. I guess he heard from a few thousand people that he was on the wrong side of this child rape issue. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Visiting our sponsors puts food on
